The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 175: An Ambitious Woman

Suddenly raising his head, Chen Bin stared intently into Ma Juan’s eyes.

"Who? Who’s chasing you?"

Seeing his anxious expression, Ma Juan felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

Soon, she spilled the story about Feng Lei constantly pestering her.

With a cold snort, a chilling look filled Chen Bin’s eyes.

He couldn’t believe it—how could a man of Feng Lei’s character dare try to steal away someone from him?

"So what are your thoughts on this?"

"Of course, I won’t agree! No matter how powerful he is, I just don’t like him. In this lifetime, I only love you."

Hearing this response, Chen Bin nodded slightly.

In his heart, he was already scheming about how to deal with Feng Lei.

Unfortunately, his current influence was too weak, and this grudge would have to wait for another day to be settled.

He gently ruffled Ma Juan’s hair and slowly pulled the "Dragon and Garden" pouch out.

"Be good. You just focus on resting for now. Try to avoid that man as much as possible. I’ll figure out a way to deal with him later."

"Okay!"

Actually, the reason Ma Juan mentioned it was to test Chen Bin’s attitude toward her.

Since Chen Bin showed jealousy, she was relieved.

By the time Chen Bin had finished getting dressed and was ready to say goodbye to Ma Juan, she had already fallen asleep.

Looking at her contented, smiling expression, Chen Bin’s mood improved significantly.

On the way back to the town government office, Chen Bin sent a message to Cheng Zhuang, asking him to look into what Wei Kai’s wife was up to.

Cheng Zhuang, who had been idling away his days at the guesthouse, promptly responded to Chen Bin’s command.

"I promise to complete the task!"

About an hour later, as Chen Bin returned to his office, Cheng Zhuang came bursting in through the door.

"Brother, Wei Kai’s wife is indeed the famous shaman of the village. She’s quite renowned across ten miles and eight villages."

"Alright, I got it."

After sending Cheng Zhuang away, Chen Bin headed straight to Wei Kai’s office.

After knocking on the door, Wei Kai’s deep voice came from inside.

"Come in!"

Walking in, Chen Bin greeted him with a smile.

"Secretary Wei busy?"

Seeing that it was Chen Bin, Wei Kai felt very surprised.

Nevertheless, he maintained a calm, collected demeanor.

He got up immediately and motioned for Chen Bin to take a seat.

"Not busy. To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit from Secretary Chen?"

"Nothing much, just wanted to chat a bit with Secretary Wei."

Wei Kai naturally didn’t believe him.

However, over the next ten minutes, Chen Bin truly only chatted idly.

Realizing the time was about right, Chen Bin stood up and said.

"We’ve talked for quite a while now. I should let you get back to work. Farewell!"

"Secretary Chen, please!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Wei Kai immediately got up to escort him out.

Once they reached the doorway, Chen Bin stared at Wei Kai’s face for a long moment before letting out a faint sigh.

Feigning an expression as if he had words but dared not speak them.

Wei Kai instinctively touched his face, finding nothing amiss.

Unable to hold back, he asked, "What’s wrong?"

Opening and closing his mouth, Chen Bin ultimately sighed again.

"Ah, forget it. Even if I said it, you probably wouldn’t believe me."

Seeing Chen Bin about to leave, Wei Kai couldn’t help but chase after him and ask again.

"Secretary Chen, we’re colleagues. If there’s something to say, just say it outright. Why beat around the bush?"

"Better to let it go. What I’m about to say isn’t auspicious."

Wei Kai, being somewhat superstitious by nature, instantly grew anxious when he heard the word "inauspicious."

"No way, you have to say it today. Otherwise, I won’t let you leave!"

Seeing the other party becoming genuinely distressed, Chen Bin appeared conflicted before speaking hesitantly.

"I noticed your forehead looking dark. I fear you’re on the verge of facing a calamity—one involving bloodshed."

Wei Kai had originally thought Chen Bin was going to discuss something related to Lu Huisheng. Upon hearing this, he felt momentarily dumbfounded.

"Secretary Chen, can you read faces?"

"To be honest, my master is a wise and enlightened man. It was through his foresight and readings that I, so young, ascended to become the Party Secretary of Qinghe Town."

"So that’s how it is. Then about this bloody calamity—how can it be avoided?"

If it were anyone else, they’d likely dismiss Chen Bin as talking nonsense.

But Wei Kai’s position was indeed secured due to his wife’s predictions.

So he had always held a strong belief in fortune-telling and face-reading.

Besides, considering Chen Bin’s young achievements, it was plausible he had received guidance from a skilled mentor.

"The secrets of heaven cannot be divulged!"

Chen Bin recited this phrase deliberately and then turned away to leave.

Wei Kai couldn’t think clearly at the moment and hurriedly opened the drawer from his desk.

He pulled out a mirror to examine his own face closely.

His complexion appeared rosy, without the slightest hint of any sign of a coming disaster.

The more he dwelled on it, the more suspicious he became. Wei Kai quickly video-called his wife.

It was only after his wife reassured him that there was absolutely nothing wrong that Wei Kai eased up a bit.

Even so, Chen Bin’s master seemed far more skilled. Logically, Chen Bin’s ability to read faces deserves credibility.

Why, then, would his wife’s statements contradict Chen Bin’s cryptic warning?

After mulling it over, Wei Kai eventually concluded that Chen Bin simply lacked expertise and had made an error.

Back in his office, Chen Bin dialed Cheng Zhuang again.

"Find a proper opportunity to rough up Wei Kai. Draw blood, but make sure he doesn’t end up in the hospital. The key is, he absolutely must not figure out it was you."

"No problem, Brother. Leave it to me!"

After work that evening, Chen Bin returned to the Qinghe Hotel.

Ma Juan had only just woken up and was lying lazily in Chen Bin’s embrace, softly asking:

"Brother Bin, I want to visit the coastal regions to learn some new things. What do you think of that?"

Ever since becoming Tianhai’s agent for Bailing Wine, her life had turned into one of daily prosperity.

But Ma Juan was an incredibly ambitious woman.

She wanted to expand into bigger ventures and earn even more money.

Chen Bin pinched her cheek and asked with a smile:

"You’re already quite wealthy now. Why are you thinking about heading elsewhere?"

Taking in the alluring scent of Chen Bin, Ma Juan found herself utterly infatuated.

"I want to work hard while I’m still young. Otherwise, I’ll regret it when I’m older."

In Chen Bin’s eyes, Ma Juan had transitioned seamlessly from a mere clothing shop owner to the agent for Bailing Wine.

While he had offered her covert assistance during this path, it couldn’t discount her sharp business acumen.

Nodding in agreement, he kissed her cheek firmly.

"Alright, whatever you want to do, go for it boldly. I will wholeheartedly support you!"

Seeing Chen Bin’s unwavering trust in her, Ma Juan felt deeply moved.

Had she not met Chen Bin, she wouldn’t have dared venture into unfamiliar places.

After all, the money she was making now was already sufficient for a comfortable life.

But Chen Bin’s potential was too immense. Ma Juan believed that if she didn’t strive to improve herself, she’d eventually be unworthy of him.

Thus, the only thing she wanted to focus on was capturing Chen Bin’s heart.

Once she became outstanding enough, she would cozy up to Chen Bin’s mother.

If she could manage to conceive his child, Chen Bin would have no excuse not to marry her...
